Last nights low was 53 and today's high was a mostly sunny 75, perfect weather.
I spent more hours campground searching this morning. I now have us booked at campgrounds through August 31st. On September 1st we will drive to Coldwater and park at Mom's pond for 4-5 days.
We are still discussing our winter travels. We plan on heading south immediately after Thanksgiving weekend. Our first extended stay will be in Iuka, MS where I want to get some minor work done on the coach. After that we will continue south and west, somewhere.
We did get out for awhile. Had a good lunch at on oriental buffet and then went grocery shopping at Meijers. I had a good afternoon nap, not sure if Kathy took one.
When we were here a few weeks ago we got to see a pair of freighters pass each other, one eastbound and the other westbound, in front of the campground. That is kind of unusual. Kathy say a pair pass each other while I was napping and later we saw another pair pass one another. It doesn't sound that exciting but occasionally when a freighter goes by a person from back in the campground will run by with a camera.
We had a nice visit with a couple from Michigan. It is their first time at Soo Locks. He is a diesel mechanic for UPS and also does diesel repair work at his home, as a side business. I'd guess they are early 50's. He said he had 3 years yet to go before he could retire from UPS. Said he makes $42/hr and the benefits are good. He knows somebody whose daughter is an Engineer at the locks. He thinks she might be able to give him a tour while he is here. Said he could take a couple of other people. He asked if I wanted to be one of them and I said, "ABSOLUTELY!".
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
